Reply to comment by throwawaitnine in Robbery victim takes knife, stabs suspect: Philly police by K1ngchip

No sympathy for the thief…. but the victim seems to be the one who turned it into a “fight for your life” situation. Guy was trying to steal his bike, victim initiated the struggle and ultimately stabbed him. Must have been a pretty nice bike, because I’m for damn sure not wrestling anyone with a knife over mine.

Don't take what's not yours and you won't have any problems

No, I hear that - I’m pumped the dude stood up for himself and kept his belongings. I was more responding to the part of the post where the guy says “it’s fucked up you can’t walk down walnut without without having to fight for your life and stab someone.”

I mean, if someone is close enough to try to grab your bike while holding a deadly weapon, you might immediately defend yourself. That’s not an unreasonable decision at all.

I don’t disagree. Again, I was speaking more to the chosen wording of the original comment I was responding to.
